After a few years of explaining I think they are finally starting to understand that they don't 'need' one over 18" and a limit can be 4 under 18".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128355011947736159.post-65613215139217885222015-03-23T15:15:36.225-04:002015-03-23T15:15:36.225-04:00Great Blog about conservation.

You're right about other fisherman not being impressed by those who keep really big fish. A couple years ago, as I was dropping fish in the Bow Narrows fish house bins, I noticed a bin that contained several pike that were significantly above the slot size. For all of the reasons you've listed, it bothered me to see those fish harvested. Because the fishing at Bow Narrows is so good, almost everyone catches big fish. There just doesn't seem to be a good reason to keep them. Keep encouraging everyone to put the big fish back. Sooner or later, even the holdouts will get the message. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
